ActionScience FictionThriller

All grown up in post-apocalyptic 2018, John Connor must lead the resistance of humans against the increasingly dominating militaristic robots. But when Marcus Wright appears, his existence confuses the mission as Connor tries to determine whether Wright has come from the future or the past -- and whether he's friend or foe.

VIBE

This is a relentless, gritty plunge into a desolate future where humanity fights for its very existence. It feels like a desperate, dust-choked war film, heavy with the weight of survival against an overwhelming mechanical threat. The mood is bleak, the action intense, and the stakes are always sky-high.
